King Something:Lucky LaRue: So, let me get this straight: Fox New is ridiculing Kerry for political theater and MSNBC is ridiculing Cruz for political theater. And you guys actually choose between these two sides?

Yes, because only one of these two sides is actively cheerleading for an economic catastrophe just to spite the other side.

Yep. The GOP wants to destroy the economy and ruin America - all because the country elected a Black man to the presidency. It is amazing how liberals make themselves look like complete jackasses considering how wise and erudite their observations are.

Lando Lincoln:Lucky LaRue: So, let me get this straight: Fox New is ridiculing Kerry for political theater and MSNBC is ridiculing Cruz for political theater. And you guys actually choose between these two sides?

Why, they ARE both the same! That's AMAZING. HOW did I not see this before?

Now explain to the class why the Senate isn't going to ratify it.

Oh, I'm sure in your narrative it has to do with one side or the other making villainous, partisan plans to destroy America.

O-HO! Is funny because it's true! O-ho-ho-ho!

/and if you still don't think it's true, compare the GOP's behavior over the last five years or so to their behavior over the previous hundred//specifically, compare which of those tow time periods has more examples of the GOP filibustering their own legislation just because the Democratic President has publicly stated that he approves of that legislation; voting to defund the teleprompter; or turning the raising of the debt ceiling from an ordinary and mundane procedure which passed with less fanfare and debate than the renaming of post offices into a major bargaining chip in order to get no less than 98% of what they want, in exchange for allowing the country to pay for spending that they themselves authorized

FlashHarry:buuuut republicans in the house repealing obamacare 42 times *when it would never pass the senate by enough votes to override a presidential veto... that's just A-OK!

IOKIYAR

*and counting

An old British judge once said that the difference between the British Judges and American Judges was that British Judges will say as little as possible, to the point of not ruling on anything, in the hopes that they don't say something wrong. American Judges, however, will say as much as possible in the hopes of saying something right.

The House are the American Judges. The Senate the British Judges. One is hyper-active, and the other is paralyzed.

vpb:Lucky LaRue: Oh, I'm sure in your narrative it has to do with one side or the other making villainous, partisan plans to destroy America.

That and reality. You haven't been paying attention for the last few years have you?

Oh, I've been paying attention, and I'm not saying the far right aren't a bunch of sleazy shiats with an anti-Obama agenda. I am just observing that (1) not everyone in the GOP is on the far right, (2) the far left is just as bat-shiat insane with their "the GOP wants to destroy the economy to spite Obama" narrative, and (3) not all Democrats is far left.

It never ceases to amaze me that, whenever I talk to herbal teabaggers, they are convinced that all Democrats think like they do and are suspicious of the moderates in their party... it is strikingly similar to the teabaggers on the right that have the audacity to label McConnell a RINO.

Somacandra:FTFA: Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., one of the most vocal opponents of the treaty, sent a letter to Kerry declaring it "dead in the water,"

If you take your policy cues from Inhofe, a global climate change denier and birfer who can't stand the thought of women or gay people serving in the military, believes there is no separation of church and state, and also has gone on record as saying the 9/11 attacks were God's punishment for America, there isn't much anyone can do for you.

THIS!

And just how is this political theater? I always thought that the Executive branch would think a treaty is a good idea nad send it to Congress to reject or ratify it. Congress does not get to negotiate the terms of the treaty. They ratify it or reject it. Simple as that.

Here's the rub.The chance of adoption by the U.S. is slim. A two-thirds majority would be needed in the Senate to ratify.

There is no chance in hell that any treaty no matter what it is will get through the current legislature.

Your argument is invalid

You are a product of your culture that is steeped in the mythology of good-vs-evil, light-vs-dark, god-vs-satan. It is only natural that you orient your political views along similar black-and-white dichotomies. Really, it isn't that I don't understand. I'm just a little disappointed is all.

nekom:Lando Lincoln: And the NRA doesn't want them to because they're nutjobs bought and paid for by gun manufacturers.

FTFY

It's the other-way 'round: The gun manufacturers are bought and paid for by the NRA, because the NRA has the muscle to shut down a gun manufacturer that steps out of line, even the biggest, most prestigious manufacturers.

The GOPers who aren't on the far right aren't in control, and the GOP appears to be preparing to damage the economy to spite Obamacare.

What effect do you think a government shutdown and a default will have?

Lucky LaRue:So, let me get this straight: Fox New is ridiculing Kerry for political theater and MSNBC is ridiculing Cruz for political theater. And you guys actually choose between these two sides?

Well is trying to stop a bad law from affecting the American people, in a very attention whorish way. The other is undermining the credibility of the country he is servicing in the eyes of the international community, in a very attention whorish way.

So if Cruz makes it happens he helps the American people, there is no up side of what Kerry is doing.

In fairness, it's the teabaggers that want that, they just happen to control the GOP narrative at this time due to weak leadership.

King Something:Lucky LaRue: Uh.. I'm a Democrat, dipshiat, not an independent

Sure you are. You're as much a Democrat as I am a chupacabra.

I wonder if you read my earlier comment about how the far-left it is suspicious of the moderates in their party and how their paranoia is strikingly similar to the teabaggers on the right that have the audacity to label McConnell a RINO.. I kind of hope not, because the irony in your statement is priceless.

TheUsualSuspectThe bigger issue here is, if the United Nations can dictate laws in the USA regarding firearms they can dictate laws about anything! Over my dead body.I wouldn't care if the law was about eating spinach I'm against it now and forever amen. As Senator Obama co-sponsored a bill called the "Global Poverty Act" that would have given the UN the right to tax the USA .8% of the US GDP for distribution to poor nations (and greedy UN officials) around the world. That's all I had to know about OHB right there, he's a one worlder then and a one worlder now. If I had my way I would opt of of the United Nations altogether

@TheUsualSuspectI did not know about the Global Poverty Act. Thank you for your input - we can not afford to feed the world.

theknuckler_33:Cruz and the House radicals' theater may shut down our governmen

t

Uh.. no. Cruz struck a deal with Reid. He's up there because Reid gave him permission to go full derp and pretend to filibuster. He's only there as long as Harry wants him there and, at the end of his rant, the bill will go to a simple majority vote and be rejected.
